Tribute to an NFL BEAST

Man, this guy was just a freak. I saw him drive entire defenses - as in all 11 players at once - 5 yards down the field. Even if you didn't watch the game you got goosebumps watching him play. I also met him in person a few times. Ever seen 34" thighs in person?

i live in michigan...i'm a barry sanders fan. simply way too much fun to watch! seems like every other time he touched the ball, it was highlight material. and to think...he played his whole career with an offensive line that was rated bottom five in the NFL every single year...and he only had a passing game to help him about 3 years in his career, if that. sadly, the dude retired when he was still at the height of his game...

I think Earl for some reason gets overlooked a lot when people talk about the great running backs to play the game. Not sure why that is - I consider him and Barry to be the best to ever play. He was that lights out. I think for all his talent he was always kind of humble and didn't toot his own horn much. I don't recall him ever holding out for a contract dispute or demanding a trade.
